A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…

In this paper we provide an alternative solution to a result by Juh\'{a}sz that the twisted conjugacy problem for odd dihedral Artin groups is solvable, that is, groups with presentation $G(m) = \langle a,b \; | \; _{m}(a,b) = {}_{m}(b,a)…

We present a new link invariant which depends on a representation of the link group in SO(3). The computer calculations indicate that an abelian version of this invariant is expressed in terms of the Alexander polynomial of the link. On the…

In this article, we prove an almost-sure global in time nonlinear smoothing effect for NLS on the two-dimensional torus. For deterministic data, this phenomenon was proved for the NLS on the circle by Erdo\u{g}an--Tzirakis, which remains…

We study extensions of the classic \emph{Line Cover} problem, which asks whether a set of $n$ points in the plane can be covered using $k$ lines. Line Cover is known to be NP-hard, and we focus on two natural generalizations. The first is…

We prove Strichartz estimates on general flat d-torus for arbitrary d. Using these estimates, we prove local wellposedness for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in appropriate Sobolev spaces. In dimensions 2 and 3, we prove…

We propose an unexpected twist to description of the geometry and topology of configurations of n straight lines considered as a whole 3D entity (because the lines are inseparably linked pairwise while having linking numbers 1/2 or -1/2)…

Fixed a continuous kernel K on the $d$-dimensional torus, we consider a generalization of the univariate $sk$-spline to the torus, associated with the kernel K. It is proved an estimate which provides the rate of convergence of a given…

We study the solution of the d-bar-Neumann problem on (0,1)-forms on the product of two half-planes in C^2. In, particular, we show the solution can be decomposed into functions smooth up to the boundary and functions which are singular at…

We show that the problem of recognizing that a knot diagram represents a specific torus knot, or any torus knot at all, is in the complexity class ${\sf NP} \cap {\sf co\text{-}NP}$, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis. We also show…

For a knot $K,$ a slope $r$ is said to be characterizing if for no other knot $J$ does $r$-framed surgery along $J$ yield the same manifold as $r$-framed surgery on $K.$ Applying a condition of Baker and Motegi, we show that the knots…

Let C_T be the subgroup of the smooth knot concordance group generated by topologically slice knots and let C_D be the subgroup generated by knots with trivial Alexander polynomial. We prove the quotient C_T/C_D is infinitely generated, and…

We revisit Dimofte-Gaiotto-Gukov's construction of 3d gauge theories associated to 3-manifolds with a torus boundary. After clarifying their construction from a viewpoint of compactification of a 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory of $A_1$-type…

We study the asymptotics of the set $S(d)$ of possible prime orders of $K$-rational points on elliptic curves over number fields $K$ of degree $d$ as $d$ tends to infinity. Assuming some conjectures on the sparsity of newforms of weight $2$…

Knots are deeply entangled with every branch of science. One of the biggest open challenges in knot theory is to formalise a knot invariant that can unambiguously and efficiently distinguish any two knotted curves. Additionally, the…

We study convergence to equilibrium for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation on the torus. Solving the stochastic differential equation, we show exponential convergence in the Monge-Kantorovich-Wasserstein $\mathcal{W}_2$ distance. Finally,…

The A-polynomial of a knot is defined in terms of SL(2,C) representations of the knot group, and encodes information about essential surfaces in the knot complement. In 2005, Dunfield-Garoufalidis and Boyer-Zhang proved that it detects the…

We derive symmetries and adjunction inequalities of the knot Floer homology groups which appear to be especially interesting for homologically essential knots. Furthermore, we obtain an adjunction inequality for cobordism maps in knot Floer…

In the bordered Floer theory, gluing thickened torus of positive meridional Dehn twist to the boundary of a knot complement result in the knot complement of increased framing. For a fixed knot K, we construct a direct system of positively…

An abstract topological graph (AT-graph) is a pair $A=(G,\mathcal{X})$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph and $\mathcal{X} \subseteq {E \choose 2}$ is a set of pairs of edges of $G$. A realization of $A$ is a drawing $\Gamma_A$ of $G$ in the plane…
